"By borrowing from the West Lake, you can move the Yangshuo to the Seven Piles of Mountains. Adding silk and willows to the embankment, the painting will remain between the heavens and the earth." This poem is about the scenery of the Qixingyan in Zhaoqing. As long as you walk around here, You will be surprised to find that the landscape of Zhaoqing is also comparable to the West Lake in Hangzhou and the mountain view of Guilin. The central lake, Bohai Lake, East Lake, Honglian Lake, Qinglian Lake, and Lihu Lake are separated by lake embankments, just like a string of jade necklaces. The pavilions and round-hole bridges form a frame of scenery, like a slowly-painted ink painting. Picturesque dreams, such as being in a paradise. Looking up, the ancient temple is in the mountains. This is especially suitable for people who want to say goodbye to the city's troubles, accompanied by breeze, bird language, walking in the mountains to get the inner peace.

Zhaoqing version of 'Little Guilin'

A good place to visit for a weekend trip, I chose to go to Zhaoqing for a two-day, one-night trip. I heard that the Seven Star Crags in Zhaoqing are somewhat similar to the landscapes of Guilin, so I came here to relax, take a walk, and enjoy some delicious food. I bought an all-inclusive ticket for about 200 yuan per person, which included a boat tour of the double caves, a self-driving boat, a sightseeing bus, and a bamboo raft ride. It was quite cost-effective. What impressed me the most was the bamboo raft ride, where we had to pass under three bridge arches. Everyone had to crouch down to pass through the arches, which was thrilling and exciting 😆 and very funny. The local delicacies here are mainly seafood. Every day, I was either on my way to eat seafood or eating seafood. I really love seafood 😋. I randomly picked a restaurant and ordered a specialty dish - steamed river clams with vermicelli and garlic. The river clam was bigger than my hand 😲 and quite delicious. The dishes had the typical taste of Guangdong street food, very tasty 🤤. In the evening, I took a stroll around the arcade buildings, but there wasn't much to see as many shops were closed.

Zhaoqing | Wetland Park

| Wetland Park. Take advantage of the mild weather for an autumn outing! I've been to Qixingyan twice, having climbed three of the rocks and roughly toured some areas below. Lately, I keep seeing posts about the wetland park, so this time I headed straight for it. tips: We entered the scenic area through the east gate and climbed the first rock with stairs right at the entrance. Instead of going back the same way, we took a different path to the south gate. When we saw the sign for the north gate, we headed straight there, passing by the now-closed amusement park (which was still open when I visited in March last year), and then it seemed like there was only one small path. We followed it and saw a moon-shaped monument with 'Xinghu Wetland' written on it. Without hesitation, we went in and found many small paths, but if you keep walking inside, you can see the forest. The forest is really beautiful for photos, I really like that lush green feeling. After our visit, we saw the north gate. Just outside, there are Guangdong University of Finance & Economics and Guangdong Polytechnic Normal University. If you have friends there, you can go in for a visit.

Zhaoqing is one of my favorite cities in Guangdong, and my favorite part of Zhaoqing is the Qixingyan Scenic Area, where the scenery is such that the city is not visible within the city, there are mountains in the lake, caves in the mountains, and rivers in the caves! The scenic area has the elegance of Hangzhou's West Lake willow-lined embankments, as well as the charm of the karst peaks and river caves in Yangshuo, Guangxi. More than 20 kilometers of shaded lake embankments divide the lake surface into five major lakes: Fairy Lake, Central Lake, Bo Hai Lake, Qinglian Lake, and Li Lake. The seven limestone peaks of Langfeng Rock, Yuping Rock, Shishi Rock, Tianzhu Rock, Toad Rock, Xianzhang Rock, and Apo Rock are dotted on the lake surface, with the lake and mountains reflecting each other and the clear waves like a mirror, making it a delightful place for the heart and spirit!

Qixingyan Peach Blossom Island has more than 530 peach trees and over 20 pear trees, with the best viewing time from January to March each year. 2. "Reclining Buddha Containing Cinnabar" is a unique astronomical spectacle of Qixingyan. Standing on the Fairy Lake Viewing Buddha Platform and looking into the distance, the "Reclining Buddha" lies peacefully on the Star Lake with its feet to the south and head to the north. The silhouette of the eyes, ears, mouth, nose, chin, snail bun, shoulders, chest, hands, feet, and toes are all clearly visible, and the proportions of the body are very symmetrical and lifelike, which is amazing. Every mid-October, around 6 pm on a clear evening, you can see the sunset slowly falling, seemingly embedded in the mouth of the Reclining Buddha, thus forming the strange astronomical spectacle of "Reclining Buddha Containing Cinnabar" in Star Lake. 3. Standing on the Wulong Pavilion opposite the Shuiyue Causeway and looking up at the Shishiyan, the overhanging cliffs are high into the clouds, overlooking the lake surface, which is as smooth as a mirror. The mountain rocks enter the water, creating a pleasant scenery. If you are there on a night when the jade rabbit is high in the sky, you can also appreciate the integrated charm of water, moon, rock, and cloud, both earthly and heavenly. There is a poem that says: "After returning from the Five Sacred Mountains, you won't look at the mountains, and you should have not yet been to Qixingyan. I urge you to go and look for it, for there is more Penglai in the world... 4. In the spring light of March, the royal pink Bauhinia trees bloom in anger, with flowers hanging all over the branches. Coupled with the light rain, the scenery is even more enchanting. You see the mountains reflected in the water, the water winding around the mountains, and the mist is ethereal. 5. Yuping Rock is connected to Langfeng Rock, with the south slope wall standing like a screen, facing the lake and the sun, with a gentle atmosphere and no harsh wind. The green trees are dense all year round, and the white egg flowers and sword flowers in summer and autumn cover the mountains and trees, fragrant and rich. 6. The Qixingyan rock carvings group is one of the world-renowned cultural relics. During the Tang Dynasty, the famous writer and calligrapher Li Yong left the nationally famous "Duanzhou Shishi Record" at the entrance of the Shishi Cave. After that, Tang Dynasty's Li Shen, Song Dynasty's Bao Zheng, Zhou Dunyi, Guo Xiangzheng, Huang Gongdu, Ming Dynasty's Yu Dayou, Wu Guolun, Guo Duxian, Chen Lin, Qing Dynasty's Li Jian, Feng Minchang, and others left a large number of poems or inscriptions inside and outside the cave. There are more than 630 pieces of Qixingyan rock carvings, with 333 in and around Shishiyan alone. The carvings include all kinds of fonts, such as seal, official, regular, running, and cursive scripts, and include works from various dynasties since the Tang Dynasty, from all over China and even Japan; and these carvings are relatively concentrated and intact. Among them, Li Yong's "Duanzhou Shishi Record", Feng Minchang's "Five Poems of Qixingyan", and Li Jian's "Nanfu Meteorite" are known as the three masterpieces of Qixingyan stone carving poetry.

Zhaoqing·Seven Star Crags One-Day Tour Guide (Detailed Itinerary)

Zhaoqing·Seven Star Crags One-Day Tour Guide (Detailed Itinerary) East Gate - Red Lotus Bridge - Guan Yu Pavilion - Iron Chain Bridge - North Face of Tianzhu Rock (Climbing)→Zhaixing Pavilion - South Face of Tianzhu Rock (Descending)→Red Lotus Bridge - Star Lake Cruise Boat - Chanlin Pier (Take a boat, if you buy the ticket online, you need to purchase it half an hour in advance to use it)→First Boat Trip: Flamingo Island - Second Boat Trip: Star Lake Wetland Park - Star Lake Misty Rain→Reclining Buddha Containing Elixir - Fairy Lake - Lingzhi Island - Shidong Ancient Temple→Return Boat Trip: to Star Lake Cruise Boat - Chanlin Pier It looks quite complicated, but actually, the route is very simple. I have drawn a map at the end of the last two pictures, you can check it out if you are not clear. You can choose to take a taxi to the Seven Star Crags Bridge, after crossing the bridge you will see the big characters for Seven Star Crags, where you can take photos and check in. Then walk to the East Gate, check your ticket to enter, or choose to enter from the South Gate, both are similar. Once inside, just keep walking forward, along the way there are Star Lake bamboo rafts, if you want to take a raft ride, buy a ticket there, the area circled in white on my map is the range of the bamboo raft tour. Walk to the Red Lotus Bridge, where lotuses are planted, and you can enjoy the lotuses. After crossing the bridge, you will reach Guan Yu Pavilion, where many fish are raised in the water and you can buy some fish feed to feed them. There is also an Iron Chain Bridge to walk on, I took a detour to the Iron Chain Bridge and then reached the North Face of Tianzhu Rock, where there is a mountain trail. It takes about half an hour to climb up, not very high, but the scenery on the mountain is quite worth it. From the top, you can see the whole view of the Seven Star Crags scenic area, and there is a Zhaixing Pavilion at the top, where you can sit and rest. Then descend from another trail around the mountain, that is, to the South Face of Tianzhu Rock, so you don't have to go back the same way. After coming down the mountain, pass the Red Lotus Bridge again and walk forward to Star Lake Cruise Boat - Chanlin Pier, if you buy the boat ticket online, you need to purchase it half an hour in advance, and it's a few yuan cheaper online. The boat ticket includes a round trip, first take the boat to Flamingo Island, the island is quite small, just to see flamingos, there are not many flamingos, about a dozen or twenty, but they look pretty good in photos. After crossing a bridge, you can see the red-crowned cranes, and you can also buy fish to feed them. After that, take the boat again to Star Lake Wetland Park, if you don't take the boat, you can also enter the wetland park from another gate, which is a bit far, but you can't get to Flamingo Island without taking the boat. If you are not interested in birds, you can also skip the boat ride. In the wetland park, you can see the Reclining Buddha Containing Elixir, one of the ten scenic spots of Star Lake, which looks good at sunset, but I didn't wait for the sunset when I was there. Then just walk forward past Fairy Lake, Lingzhi Island, to reach Shidong Ancient Temple, which is the last scenic spot. Next to the ancient temple is the pier, take the boat back to the starting point Star Lake Cruise Boat - Chanlin Pier. After a full circle, you are almost done with the tour. After the boat ride, the closest exit is the North Gate, if you want to go back to the East Gate or South Gate, it will take half an hour. I exited from the North Gate, and it took only about fifteen minutes to walk out.

Zhaoqing: To appreciate the scenery is also to seek the classics

Zhaoqing has been in my childhood memories, known from the picture albums as the Seven Star Crags. Zhaoqing was formerly known as Duanzhou, the birthplace of the Duan inkstones. The name Zhaoqing comes from Emperor Huizong of Song, who ascended to the throne and personally inscribed the three characters 'Zhaoqing Prefecture', which is the origin of the name Zhaoqing. Zhaoqing combines urban landscapes with natural scenery. The most renowned attractions include the Seven Star Crags, Dinghu Mountain, the Revolutionary Martyr Ye Ting's Independent Regiment's Northern Expedition starting point at Yuejiang Tower, and the Song Dynasty city walls. Zhaoqing has a developed transportation network, only a 90-minute drive from Guangzhou, with convenient access by self-driving, train, and coach.

I just love this downtown attraction, Qixingyan

Zhaoqing's most famous scenic spot is right in the city center, making transportation very convenient. The rivers surround it, with mountains linking one another, creating a diverse and beautiful landscape. Bridges, temples, flowers, caves, fish, and corridors... There are boat tickets for sale in the caves, but actually, there's no need to take a boat. You can see all the cave scenery without it, and even more meticulously. The cliff carvings and caves are connected, with many hidden paths to explore, which is very interesting. The effect is no less impressive than the Guilin Reed Flute Cave. It's the most memorable spot in the entire scenic area. Visiting on a cloudy day has its own charm, with the air incredibly fresh and the scenery like an ink wash painting. Here you can find the ancient charm of history and also gaze at the city's prosperity from afar. Each level has its own features. Being there, you feel removed from the mundane world, a perfect place to quiet your mind and rejuvenate your spirit. Ticket price: 70 yuan, one ticket for all, no other tickets required once you enter.

The scenic area has four gates in the east, west, south, and north, with a Fairy Lake entrance in the northeast. The east gate is closer to Fairy Lake, and the south gate is closer to the Seven Star Crags Arch Square, but both of these entrances are relatively far from the core scenic area, so it is recommended to enter from the west gate or the north gate along the Yingbin Boulevard. 3. Zhaoqing Ancient City Wall (Songcheng Road) The Duanzhou ancient city wall is located around Songcheng Road in Zhaoqing city area, originally built during the Song Dynasty. It is rectangular, with the highest point at the Piyun Tower in the north of the city.

In Zhaoqing!! The sunny Seven Star Crags are absolutely stunning

I visited the Seven Star Crags in September, and it was incredibly beautiful. You guys must choose a day with good weather and lots of clouds to go. No need for filters, it's easy to take great photos, totally fell in love with the place. Remember to go in the morning, otherwise it will be very hot and you'll sweat a lot while climbing. You can also take a ride on the little yellow duck boat 🐥 with friends. Experience the Seven Star Crags from a different perspective, hehe.

Lingnan's first wonder - Searching for the relics of Li Beihai

➡️On the last half day in Zhaoqing, I went to Qixingyan to find the inscriptions of Li Beihai. I walked through the entire cave before I found Li Beihai's 'Duanzhou Stone Chamber Record', which is located on the right side of the entrance of Qixingyan Stone Chamber. I didn't see it when I first arrived at the entrance and went directly into the cave, almost missing it. This inscription, carved in the 15th year of Kaiyuan of the Tang Dynasty (727), is the only surviving regular script stele of Li Yong, and it is also the top historical relic in Zhaoqing. Because there is a horseshoe-shaped damage on the stele, it is also called the Horseshoe Stele. ➡️The so-called 'The right army is like a dragon🐉, Beihai is like an elephant🐘', without seeing Beihai's regular script, it is impossible to imagine. This Beihai inscription during his lifetime is especially precious, after all, no one understands the Tang people better than the Tang people themselves. 📍Address: No. 1, Qixing Road, Duanzhou District, Zhaoqing City, Guangdong Province 🈺Opening hours: 8:00-18:00 🎫Ticket: 70/person
